@darkraiden: This is in character. Thor doesn't often use his energy draining, so it seems unlikely that he would use it on the lantern.
Eh,...but he's also bloodlusted. That does a lot of things to you, and if Thor feels the quickest way to kill Guy is via energy absorption....I guess he would take it? It's hard to tell with character on, yet bloodlusted with people like Thor. They're almost 2 contradictory statements.
That's what I don't understand. Being in character AND bloodlusted kinda contradicts itself.
It doesnt contradict. Let me try to explain:
A person can be in-character or not. This just means whether they're limited to doing things they normally do or are allowed to do their full range of possible actions. An example is Superman fighting in-character. He can vibrate himself intangible, but he hardly ever does. He normally just slugs it out. That's "in-character" for him, whether he's bloodlusted or not. But, for Martian Manhunter, he almost always goes intangible right away. It would be in-character to do so at the start of a battle, but out of character for him to start brawling.
Bloodlusted is different. I means whether they have morals or not, whether they'll try to kill or not. So, for Superman, this would be the difference between him hitting someone at full strength, or only enough to KO them. It'd be the difference between him punching them into a building full of people, or holding back so as to avoid killing innocent bystanders.
So, for Superman:
In-character, non-bloodlusted (his normal state): Slugs it out, does not try to kill.
In-character, bloodlusted: Slugs it out, tries to kill.
Out-of-character, non-bloodlusted: Vibrates to avoid physical contact, begins attack with heat vision, does not try to kill.
Out-of-character, bloodlusted: Vibrates to avoid physical contact, begins attack with heat vision, tries to kill.
Hope that helps.
